Telefunken M81 - Dynamic Microphone (Red Body, Black Grille)

Premium Dynamic Microphone for Live and Studio Use

The Telefunken M81 RED w/ BLACK NICKEL is a high-performance handheld supercardioid dynamic microphone designed to meet the demands of both live performers and recording artists. Featuring a bold red body with a black grille, this microphone combines professional-grade sonic clarity with a visually striking aesthetic. It delivers a condenser-like detail in a rugged dynamic design, making it a versatile choice for vocals, instruments, and percussion.

Balanced Frequency Response for Clear and Warm Sound

Unlike standard dynamic microphones that can exaggerate high frequencies, the M81 is tuned for a more controlled response, reducing sibilance and harshness while enhancing midrange articulation. With a frequency range of 50 Hz to 18 kHz, it captures a wide spectrum of sounds while maintaining a smooth, natural character. Whether used for vocals, guitar cabinets, or brass instruments, the M81 ensures clarity and presence without sounding overly bright.

Supercardioid Polar Pattern for Maximum Isolation

Designed for live sound environments, the M81’s supercardioid pattern provides excellent rejection of off-axis sound sources, minimizing background noise and reducing the risk of feedback. This focused pickup pattern ensures that only the intended sound is captured, making it an ideal choice for both stage performances and controlled studio settings.

Custom-Wound Transformer for Consistent Performance

The M81 features a custom-wound Telefunken T80 transformer that enhances its ability to deliver consistent sound quality across various audio systems. This ensures that the microphone maintains its character and performance, whether connected to a high-end studio preamp or a standard live sound console. With a maximum SPL of 135 dB, it can handle loud sources without distortion, making it perfect for powerful vocalists, drummers, and amplified instruments.

Durable and Stylish Construction for Professional Use

Built for durability, the M81 RED w/ BLACK NICKEL features a rugged metal housing designed to withstand the rigors of touring and daily studio use. The bold red finish with a black grille adds a unique touch to any microphone collection, making it both a functional and visually appealing tool. The included mic clip and leather storage bag provide added protection and portability, ensuring that the microphone is always performance-ready.
